WP:QUACK, most especially at White culture, even making the same mistake of redirecting to the wrong page again with the initial change. IP address being used for WP:BLOCKEVASION as sockmaster is indef'd for violations of BLP policy. Keri (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2015 (UTC) Identical behaviour:
- master [1] puppet [2]
- master (immediately spots mistake) [3] puppet (same) [4] Keri (talk) 19:48, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Clerk note: @Keri:. In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
- At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
- At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
- In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:33, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Clerk note:
Looks like a duck to me (and a funny one, really). An admin should block the IP for three days. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:48, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

- Equivocasmannus was indeffed on 26 May 2015 for persistent violations of BLP. The account InterPersonalAutomaton was created on 31 May 2015.
- Both accounts argue the definition of Atheism on Talk:Atheism: "Atheism= believing god does not exist. That is all." [5] "atheism is the rejection of theism, or belief in at least one God" [6].
- Both accounts are determined to redirect White culture to Culture of Europe: [7] [8] [9]
- Both accounts home in on Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Atheism, British National Party, List of fallacies and List of prisoners with whole-life tariffs. Block evasion has also been previously carried out using 92.236.212.150.
- Both accounts appear to be white supremacists of some kind, with InterPersonalAutomaton even attempting to create his user page with the (non-existent) template {National Socialist}.
- Reading the history of Talk:InterPersonalAutomaton [10] demonstrates the repeated same disruptive editing in the same venues and multiple warnings that led to the orifginal indef of Equivocasmannus.
- Very obvious WP:DUCK, very obvious WP:BLOCKEVASION. Keri (talk) 10:40, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Isn't it shocking to think two separate people would object to a racist page being linked to every time someone inputs "white culture" in this encyclopedia?
I can't think of an explanation, except sock-farming. You cretinous fools.InterPersonalAutomaton (talk) 14:57, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Clerk endorsed - evidence number 3 is especially convincing. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:57, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
Clerk note: Keri, don't tag users as socks. Leave it to admins and clerks. It is very WP:UNCIVIL to do so. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:47, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
- Blocked indef as an obvious sock of Equivocasmannus (but really WP:NOTHERE even in the unlikely event that they're not), whether it's worth CU for sleepers is a decision I'll let someone else make. Black Kite (talk) 16:25, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
- No history of creating large number of socks. No need for sleepers check. Closing. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:30, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

- WP:DUCK.
- Most-recently detected sock InterPersonalAutomaton (talk · contribs · block log) was indeffed 22 July; this account was created 23 July.
- Editor cannot resist returning to their previous venues: Jack the Ripper [12] [13] Malmedy massacre [14] [15] Jack Straw [16] [17]
- And the smoking gun on White American:
- Makes edit: [18] (summary "remove pseudo-historical tosh")
- Realizes edit was wrong place and fixes: [19] (summary "wrong section removed")
- Latest sock makes edit: [20] (summary "obscure europhobic section that adds nothing. one wonders what would happen if "african slavery" were linked to on the page about african-americans")
- Realizes made same mistake again, fixes: [21] (summary "wrong section")
- This is identical behaviour to their editing at White culture:

- No reason givden for requesting a CU. The master is
Stale, and there are no confirmed puppets to compare against, although if there were a reason to check for sleepers, a check against suspected puppets might be reasonable.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:19, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
- I think this is WP:DUCK. Although he made just two edits, those are typical for the master. Please, indef the sock. Vanjagenije (talk) 21:13, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
